Jorge Porras, Modern Languages and Literatures, participated in two professional meetings this January. He read a paper and chaired a session at the Linguistic Society of America/Society for Pidgin and Creole Annual Meeting in San Francisco. His paper titled, "Discourse markers and oral narrative in Afro-Iberian Creoles: A semantic, pragmatic, and textual analysis" dealt with research on three Spanish and Portuguese-based Creole languages: Cape Verdean, Palenqueroand Papiamentu. Porras also represented the SSU Foreign Language component at the Northern California Region meeting of the Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated Curriculum in Milbrae. This project involves interdisciplinary faculty from UC, CSU and California Community College systems for the articulation of intersegmental course descriptors. Elizabeth C. Martínez, Chicano and Latino Studies/Modern Languages and Literature, volunteered her voice to the Sonoma County Public Library system. Hers will now be the voice in Spanish that callers hear upon phoning in for information, and listening to all branch hours and addresses. For this community endeavor, Martínez hearkened back to her days doing the news in Spanish on Univision Television.
